Karolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly patient while helping bring my project together. Communication was always clear, she was very receptive to feedback and revisions, and she helped navigate the layout and design process with great care and attention to detail. The project itself evolved quite a bit as it developed, and Karolina was always flexible and supportive throughout. I really appreciated her collaborative approa...

Seth was truly amazing to work with. He took the time to understand our project goals and what we wanted to accomplish. From the initial discussions and outlining to the completed book, Seth was collaborative, responsive, and delivered a high-quality children's book on time. I recommend collaborating with Seth on your project!

Working with Kate was a fantastic experience. She provided clear, actionable, and immensely helpful developmental feedback. Her insights were indispensable in taking my project to the next level. I highly recommend her and would absolutely work with her again.

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...

Entrusting my book to someone else felt like a deeply personal step, but Sam immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and made everything feel manageable from the start. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge, offering guidance across different areas of the publishing and editing world, and consistently went above and beyond what I expected. His feedback was thorough and insightful. He even picked up on the smallest details I hadn't considered! The collaboration f...

Jackie was amazing at developmental editing, really helping me spot my mistakes as a new writer. I genuinely appreciate her expert feedback as an editor for my development. I would suggest her to anyone based on the work she's done with me so far, even though we haven't completed the entire book yet.

Having worked with Clelia on two books, I can say with confidence that choosing her as my editor was the right decision. She has an exceptional eye for detail—catching everything from small inconsistencies to bigger issues of flow and clarity—and always ensures that the reader receives my message exactly as I intended. Beyond her technical skill, Clelia is reliable, always meeting deadlines, and a pleasure to collaborate with. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any writer looking for a sharp, ...

Very user friendly and easy to work with

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

Roberta is an incredibly talented artist with an undeniable gift for illustration. She was able to take my vision and transform it into something that took my breath away. Her professionalism, collaboration, and communication went above and beyond, and the experience of having her design my cover went completely smoothly as a result. I can't recommend Roberta enough, and I will certainly request her again for future books. Thank you so much, Roberta, for a fabulous experience!

Gabriella was a sharp, efficient editing partner on my government art grant application. She worked with my tight schedule for a quick turnaround and helped me submit everything by the deadline despite broader uncertainties. As a non-native English–speaking academic, I felt fortunate to be working with someone who shares an arts and humanities background and understands the nuance of academic writing. I especially valued how her editing feedback was clear, respectful, and explained her rea...

Rich was the most kind and understanding person ever! Having him as my illustrator for my very first children's book was such a blessing. He is so patient, generous, and supportive and is STILL helping me through the self publishing process even though the collaboration date is technically done. I am a college student working multiple jobs while trying to make ends meet and he met me where I needed to make my dreams come true. God truly blessed me with a talented illustrator that I will cer...

Trinity did an amazing job taking my book from not quite right to just what I imagined it could be. I’m so thankful for her guidance and recommendations that made my book the book it is today. Thank you again!

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.

Working with Felicity was great! She was professional, communicative, and extremely helpful. Her feedback was insightful and actionable.
